The Italian science-fiction atmospheric black metal trio Progenie terrestre pura will soon release their second full-length album, oltreLuna.

… Read moreHeart of Cygnus has been a kick-ass band that took on a life of it’s own, and I was happy to be a part of the adventure. But like real life, time moves on, seasons change, everything changes; change is the only thing that doesn’t change.
